Goals

Many people try to create plans on their own, only to stumble quickly. Having assistance to choose the right goals and the steps to attain them can make all the difference.

Changes

Motivation to address the changes you would like to make (yet cannot), is a strong component of psychotherapy. You might also find that as you change, your goals will shift toward health in other areas of your life.

Progress

Defining your progress correctly can give you a feeling of confidence and accomplishment as you tackle the challenges before you. It is important to recognize the end goal so you know when you have arrived. Measuring improvements and recognizing the effort you have made in tangible ways helps you to work harder toward larger goals.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term Therapy

Short-term therapy: To address an immediate crisis and change the presenting symptoms.

Long-term therapy: All the benefits of short-term therapy, with the potential to prevent re-occurrances.
